Ugh, clickbait title from the author: Sorry to clickbait with that title... If you're sorry, then how about just not doing it?

Probably because he immediately follows up with: > but it's actually true.

  Doesn't excuse it.

    If it’s true, is it clickbait?
    - justinclift 3y ago
      If the author didn't think it was clickbait, then they wouldn't have apologised for doing it.

        I only apologized because some people love to shout "clickbait" at any headline that has anything sensational about it, regardless of truth or merit. In this case it is entirely true, but some people would inevitably spend a bunch of time in comments arguing over whether or not the headline was clickbait, so I thought I'd just nip that conversation in the bud. Apparently it didn't work ;)

        Seems like people object to "sensational" titles (aka clickbait) regardless of the article contents. Perhaps it's something to do with treating your readers disrespectfully? ;)

        Apparently adding a ;) doesn't convey my intent that well... It's hard to convey any sense of sarcasm in written fora.

It is relevant though, as the author points out, because you can use this to reduce your "deep sleep" power consumption since RTC still runs after SoC power off. I don't know who is using a Pi 5 in low power applications given it is fairly power hungry compared to other practical options, but it's still good to know if you are.

  Some people use these to make a diy replacement head unit for their cars, and in that case, the power draw when off is very important.
